Lightbulb Aftermarket Gauge Cluster Project

I'm considering doing a full aftermarket gauge package for my V8 project (Autometer). Has anyone tried this before? Any pictures?
My dash is the late style (85.5-95)
Thanks in advance.

You mean as in; remove all the cluster from the standard dash (the speedometer, rev, fuel and so on) and replace them with a digital one? I have seen a view of those and i'm going to do one of these swaps myself as well!

Any information on the 944 conversion? I tried "search" but didn't find much in the way of details.
Thanks,

All the signals are ready for use in the cluster harness. See tach details in the link below, and speedo info in the calibrator write-up linked in my signature at the bottom of this post.

hi Gene,

I had not been aware that you were attempting to do this, as I would have contacted you immediately.


it's early, but a few RL'ers have already expressed interest. so, I'd like to present a group buy idea....

specifically, my 200mph 944/968/928 GT style instrument cluster...

https://rennlist.com/forums/924-931-...issions-6.html


if you scroll down, you'll see a variation to the gps speedo that features the tach in the center position....

we can do metric, or swap out a few things, such as having a boost gauge in place of the clock.

I hope a few of you will get on board, as I think it's a worthwhile upgrade.

od.

That looks great!

However, I'd prefer to see the oil pressure in terms of PSI


Also, as mentioned a boost reading would be nice. Or even AFR?
